    	iter : in out EntityIterator)  is deferred;
    ---Purpose : Specific filling of the list of Entities shared by an Entity
    --           <ent>. Can use the internal utility method Share, below

    ---Purpose : Specific Copy ("Deep") from <entfrom> to <entto> (same type)
    --           by using a TransferControl which provides its working Map.
    --           Use method Transferred from TransferControl to work

--    ImpliedCase (me; casenum : Integer;
--    	         entfrom : Transient; entto : mutable Transient;
--    	         TC : CopyTool);
